The 2011 Dolcetto d’Alba Madonna di Como is a dark, thickly extracted wine that is built like a brick house, layer by meticulous layer. There’s a touch of mineral dryness on the close that gives the wine that touch of elegance that it needs. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. Paolo Tenino and Monica Rinaldi Tenino run this 10-hectare estate with vineyards in Verduno for Barolo, Neive for Barbaresco and Madonna di Como for Dolcetto and Barbera.
